In Ezekiel 34:2, God condemns shepherds for feeding themselves — the immediate context that sets up the rhetorical question in verse 18.

In Ezekiel 34:3, the shepherds' selfish actions (eating fat, clothing with wool) are detailed — the specific sins leading to the rebuke in verse 18.

Ezekiel 34:13 promises God will feed his flock on good pasture — in direct contrast to the shepherds here who trample and foul.

Ezekiel 34:8 condemns shepherds for feeding themselves instead of the flock — the same rebuke that verse 18 elaborates with trampling and fouling.

In Ezekiel 16:20, the same rhetorical 'Is it too little?' rebukes Israel's ingratitude in sacrificing children — mirroring the selfish shepherds' attitude here.

In Ezekiel 16:47, 'as if that were too little' escalates the accusation of corrupt behavior — echoing the same pattern of ingratitude and excess.

Ezekiel 32:2 uses the same 'fouling waters with feet' imagery for Pharaoh — a parallel metaphor for destructive leadership.

Ezekiel 32:13 uses the same 'troubling waters by foot' imagery, but as a promise that such troubling will cease — contrasting with the rebuke here.

Luke 11:52 echoes Matthew 23:13: 'experts in law' take away the key of knowledge, hindering others — like trampling the pasture.

In Numbers 16:9, Moses uses 'Is it too small a thing?' to rebuke Korah's ingratitude for priestly privilege — same idiomatic rebuke.

Matthew 23:13 condemns religious leaders who prevent others from entering the kingdom — analogous to trampling the good pasture.

In Isaiah 7:13, Isaiah asks 'Is it too little for you to weary men?' — same rhetorical rebuke of ingratitude, here against Ahaz.

In Numbers 16:13, Dathan and Abiram hurl the same phrase 'Is it too small a thing?' against Moses — a self-serving accusation, contrasting with God's rebuke here.

Matthew 15:6-9 shows religious leaders nullifying God's word — a similar failure to shepherd rightly, like the trampling in Ezekiel.

In Micah 2:2, greedy leaders covet fields and oppress families — a parallel theme of selfish exploitation, though no shared idiom.
